The Rangers acquired Ryan Dempster from the Cubs, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney. MLB.com's Ken Gurnick and Scott Miller of CBS Sports had early word of the deal, which made it in just under the trade deadline buzzer.

For?

Not overly thrilled with Dempster, but at least he can help our rotation down the stretch. Won't have to rely on Feldman/Oswalt now. Harrison/Dempster/Darvish/Holland/? should be enough to keep us in a playoff spot.

I'm not thrilled, but I think a low cost solid arm is something we needed at the very least

per rosenthal: "Correction: One of players going to #Cubs is a pitcher, one a position player. Both at Class A. "

I wish we had acquired a better right-handed bat for the bench (or to start and move MY to the bench).

Not bad, I liked Villanueva but he was blocked even more than Olt was

Hendricks, never heard much about him

So Dempster takes Torrealba's vacated roster spot

Depending on what happens with Feliz, Lewis could be placed on the 60 day DL and open up another 40 man spot, but if Feliz is coming back then it will be needed then

Villanueva, 21, has a .285/.356/.421 batting line in 425 plate appearances with Class A Myrtle Beach this year. The third baseman entered the 2012 season as the 100th-best prospect in MLB, according to Baseball America. He has a .286/.350/.438 batting line in four minor league seasons.

Hendricks, 22, has a 2.82 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 1.0 BB/9 in 130 2/3 innings over the course of 20 starts at Myrtle Beach. The 6'2" right-hander has 150 strikeouts and just 21 walks in 166 1/3 innings since being selected in the eighth round of the 2011 draft.
